Sparta Motorcycles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sparta Motorcycles are a Dutch motorcycle and scooter manufacturer based in Apeldoorn.

The company was formed in September 1917 as Verbeek & Schakel. The Sparta brand name was bought approximately one month later from a competitor.

In 1931, Sparta released its first moped, which was equipped with a 78 cc engine.

World War II haulted production, and afterwards, the company focussed on producing mopeds. It wasn't until 1967 that Sparta began to produce motorcycles again.
